Matchbox ‘Ma’ Hale
17 (might change that to 18 later)
170 cm/5’ 7”
she/he interchangeable
Brooklyn born and raised, baby!
No father and refuses to let his mom to go anywhere that would be dangerous for her
Mother’s a seamstress, but not for a company that does anyone much good
Got into a fight with Spot when she first joined (aged 14) ‘cause “I wasn’t aware there was rules I gotta follow. I just wanna know, who’s the nitwit that makes ‘em”
Put up a good fight and it was almost close, but ended up losing
But they’re cool now
Accidentally became team mom
Knows how to sew and ends up being the one who everyone turns to when they’ve torn holes in their clothes again (sometimes uses scraps to make little stuffed animals for the little kids)
Doesn’t start fights but will finish them (and oh boy, if you hurt one of the kids, well buddy, you better run)
The one who goes to the other boroughs to carry a message if necessary because “she’s the only one what’s got a mind for negotiations”
Romantic f/o(‘s): Spot Conlon
Platonic f/o(‘s): the Brooklyn newsies
Familial f/o(‘s): none
